A ground-floor retirement maisonette set within a well-kept development, offered chain-free and managed as sheltered accommodation for the over-60s. The layout is straightforward: a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and direct access to the communal garden, a living/dining room large enough for a small table and seating, a fitted kitchen with space for white goods, and a bathroom with a coloured suite. Practical extras include a garage in a block, communal gardens, laundry room and a social room.
The building is double-glazed and benefits from ultra-fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for staying connected with family and services. Heating is electric via room heaters, which keeps systems simple but may result in higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. The property is managed with a 24-hour emergency pull-cord service and an estate manager (not 24-hour) for added peace of mind.
Important practical notes: this is a leasehold retirement flat with approximately 74–76 years remaining (as reported), and an annual service charge of about £2,782.80. The limited lease length is a material issue — some mortgage lenders or buyers may be unable to proceed without extending the lease first. There is no flood risk and council tax is described as affordable.
This property will suit a downsizer or someone seeking sheltered, low-maintenance living close to local shops and bus links into Guildford. It offers immediate occupancy with no onward chain, but buyers need to consider lease length, service charges and electric heating when assessing long-term suitability and affordability.
